Unhappy car won't start! help!

my car was working yesterday, now i tried to start it and it won't start. it cranks but just doesn't start, does anyone know what the problem is. oh yeah i have an automatic starter, so do you think that will void my warranty cuz i hear that 6speed are not suppose to have an automatic starter. i'm new to this so any help on this will be appreciated, Thanks

Does it sound funny when it cranks...ie no lub lub lub noise......if so probably flooded.

Could be a ton of stuff...including wiring problems with the remote starter wiring.......

Sounds wierd but you may want to recharge your battery - even if it turns over and the lights come on it seems to need a little extra juice - do the jumper cable thing on your battery, wait about 15 minutes, then retry...If it still doesn't start, next probable is flooding - did you turn it on cold, roll a little bit then turn it off then try to start later? If so - flooding -
Are you running hi test gas?

The automatic starter would only affect your warranty if it can be proven to have caused the problem. It cannot void your whole warranty, just coverage on a related issue.

Since I assume you've had the automatic starter for a while, and the car's been starting, battery and flooding are the most likely suspects.
